Evanescent Fashions.

To say that anything is the fashion is
equivalent to saying that it is evanescent.
Fashions don't linger. We have had all
shades in hair. Sometimes the woman
with blue eyes has been voted the queen.
only to give way few seasons later to
her sister with the brown or the black.
The fashions in bonnets, wraps, dresses,
gloves, or whatever else woman wears
come and go with such rapidity that the
poor dears who are votaries never have
anything to wear. A year or two ago it
became the fashion for women to write
as their English cousins write. The
angular style of penmanship was all the
rage. Miss Rose Cleveland. whose
natural hand was anything but English.
fell into the fashion, and then, of course,
every woman in America had to do like
wise Now comes y tutor in pcnman-
ship in one of the downtown CONNER
cial schools, who informs the club man
that the day of angular penmanship has
passed. 1t is English still in England.
tor they don't change over there as often
as we do, but it'snot the proper caper any
more in this country. Asked what the
thing in penmanship now is the profess
sor replied, ooh, sort of careless
style-as If the writer didn't care. The
idea is that it denotes independence,
and the American girl of the present
day wants to make it appear that she
doesn't care continental about any
body So to be in style, be careless.
